Hunt for markdowns on meat and bakery items.
There’s nothing wrong with buying items that are nearing their sell-by dates, especially if you plan on using them on the same day. If you’re looking for meat for dinner or even lunch you should look for either the “Manager’s Special” or “Woohoo” tags. You’re guaranteed to get a bargain on an item that would have otherwise been thrown out. The same goes for baked goods.
Remember what mom and dad used to say, don’t let good food go to waste!
